Cookie Butter Butterscotch Fudge! This fudge is so delicious and so easy that it is a must make for your holiday season!
I’m about to introduce you to the fudge that is going to end your diet.
Okay, let’s not look at it that way. Let’s say, let me introduce you to your winter blubber. The dessert that is going to bring you to your knees and make you beg for mercy. The dessert that is so good, you won’t need to buy a winter coat.
You’ve met Cookie Butter, right?
If you have been following me over the last few months, you know that I’ve sort of become a Cookie Butter addict. I considered looking for a 12 step program and then realized that it just wasn’t a habit that I wanted to kick.
The number one most popular recipe on my blog that I still see getting pinned all over Pinterest is Sugar Cookie Cookie Butter Bars that has this absolutely decadent and delicious layer of Cookie Butter frosting. It is true that the recipe calls for an obscene amount of butter, but . . . it’s worth it.
Around my birthday I made a martini out of Cookie Butter! The Cookie Butter Milkshaketini! {Hello, my blog is Wine & Glue . . . heavy on the wine, light on the crafting.} Because when you turn 32, you need a dessert that packs a punch. And I made a virgin version (say that 82 times fast after drinking a Cookie Butter Milkshaketini) too!
I took a more grown up approach and gave you Cookie Butter with breakfast with these Cookie Butter Biscotti.
And then there’s the very first Cookie Butter recipe that I ever made . . . Biscoff Butterscotch Apple Pie with Sugar Cookie Crust. It is the ultimate delicious sugar rush. It’s like Apple Pie on crack. It’s awesome. And the Cookie Butter and butterscotch pair together so deliciously well.
That pie was the inspiration for this recipe! Butterscotch and Cookie Butter are soul mates, and this fudge is their sweet little love child.
Each time I post a Cookie Butter recipe, I get questions about what is Cookie Butter and where you can find it. So Cookie Butter is a lot like it sounds, sort of like peanut butter, only you take out the peanuts and you sub in a delicious gingerish cookie. You know those Biscoff cookies that you get on airplanes? Yumm. Hand me the jar and the spoon and leave me alone with an unwatched season of Modern Family, please and thank you.
Where to buy it? You can find it as Cookie Butter at Trader Joes. You can find it as Biscoff Spread at Target, Walgreens, and WalMart. If all else fails, you can buy it on Amazon. I’m not kidding, and yes, it is worth it.

what is cookie butter
It’s like peanut butter but made with cookies. You can find it at Trader Joes or as Biscoff Spread in most grocery stores.
